This is my first time breeding and I think I did all of the steps right. I’m just a little confused about incubation. I bought a Hovabator and got that all setup and I was planning on using a shoebox with hatchrite. My questions were: Do you put holes in the shoebox if so how many? How long do you wait to start taking the eggs from the female? How high should you fill up the shoebox with hatchrite? How much do you cover the eggs? I had 1 person tell me to completely cover them others tell me ½ and others tell me 1/3. Sorry I know it’s a lot of questions but I’m excited about breeding for the first time.
I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks
